Identity, Culture, and Multicultural Concerns

Our cultural backgrounds, families, communities, and experiences shape how we understand ourselves and our relationships. Therapy can provide space to explore these influences while making room for the person you are becoming.  If you are seeking a culturally competent psychologist in Santa Rosa, schedule a free consult now to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. 

You might be here because...

• “I feel like I belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time.”
• “I love my family, but some of their expectations don't fit with the life I want.”
• “I feel caught between the person my family expects me to be and the person I want to become.”
• “Sometimes I don't know whether what I'm struggling with is about me, my family, or my culture.”
• “I want to understand how my cultural background influences the way I see myself and my relationships.”

• Identity across cultures
• Feeling caught between cultures
• Belonging and connection
• Family and interpersonal relationships
